Fasten your seat belts...it’s going to be a crazy night with Chicago’s two wild and crazy guys Daryl Nitz and George Howe . There is no other show like it!

The show combines requests, audience participation and outrageous standup comedy. Coupled with Nitz’s 30 vocal impressions that include Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Carol Channing, Billie Holiday and even Edith Bunker, the duo’s spontaneous, zany antics makes for one wild entertainment experience.

Hailed as “the best party in town,” by New York’s Cabaret Scenes Magazine.
